A few days from now and it will be
Chinese New Year. I am not Chinese and my family don’t really celebrate this
day but I am just curious about it because I am set to give birth this May and
my daughter (yes we are having another girlJ) will have the sign of the
water snake according to the Chinese zodiac.

The Chinese New Year for 2013 will happen
this February 10, a day after my birthday so we are in a way celebrating this
day too. My family plan to head to a nearby pool resort for a quick swimming
party.

Anyway, let me share some facts about the
year of the water snake that I gathered on the net:

The Snake

Ancient Chinese wisdom says a Snake in
the house is a good omen because it means your family will not starve. This
could be taken metaphorically to mean that a Snake could never have a problem
with his family starving because he is such a great mediator, making him good
at business. Or it could mean that a Snake would be willing to sacrifice his
possessions, something the Snake has a lot of, in order to pay for his family’s
food. Any way it is interpreted is representative of the Snake’s character and
is a measure of the value he puts on his material wealth. The Snake is keen and
cunning, quite intelligent and wise.

THE SIGN OF THE SNAKE

The Snake is the intuitive, introspective,
refined and collected of the Animal Signs. They are attractive people who take
cries with ease and do not become flustered easily. They are graceful people,
exciting and dark at the same time.

Contemplative and private, the Snake is
not outwardly emotional. He can appear cunning and reticent and works very
modestly in the business environment. The Snake will plot and scheme to make
certain things turn out exactly as they want them to. They are not great
communicators and can become quite possessive when they set their minds on
achieving the interest of a partner.
